Family courts to hire and train bilingual divorce mediators

"Nashville has a growing Hispanic population and is believed to have the largest group of Kurds in the country and a significant number of Somalis. There aren't enough trained family court mediators who can help them if they choose to divorce."

"Applicants must have a graduate degree or be a certified public accountant. They also have to have four years of experience in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, social work, education, law or accounting."

"Anyone interested in applying for the training can e-mail a request for an application to rayakers@jis.nashville.org or fax the inquiry to 880-2315."
